Authorize.net gateway

I am using Substruct for rails e-commerce and I need a to use authorize.net as a gateway to process credit cards.

I went to
http://developer.authorize.net/samplecode/

and found these links where ruby is missing from AIM of which  I probably have to use because I want to process credit cards without the physical card.

I noticed that another hostingrails user used zend cart for php.  If I have to use php, could you make sure that I could install curl so I can upload information.

Also do you recommend a way I could create a shopping cart that takes credit cards.  
Substruct takes authorize.net only, but if you if authorize.net is not a gateway you recommend, what is a full product I could use.  I know only php and ruby on rails and nothing else.

Curl could be installed - sure - have support get it on your server if you need to go that route.  However, you should be good to go with "ARB - Ruby" right?  That will at least get you in the right direction and you can learn from the php example to port it to ruby (and, many others have done this of course, search around or look at the active_merchant code)

If I used active merchant, would I need a template to design the site too.  I looked up active merchant and found shopify.com where user has to host on their site.  I dont think I am a good enough programmer to look at a authorize.net code written in php and change it to ruby.  Do you know of any urls that you could share of people that designed shoping carts with authorize.net gateways in ruby on rails.  

Or if I am more a of a beginner,  should I use a zend php shopping cart.
